The full process
How the Cirql AI Assessmentworks.
From 15-minute conversations to a complete AI integration roadmap. Here's every step of the process and what makes it different from a traditional consulting engagement.
Four phases
Conversations in, a ranked roadmap out.
- 01
Phase 1
AI-powered interviews
Each employee has a 15-minute conversation with our AI agent. The interview adapts in real time, probing deeper into bottlenecks, mapping tool usage, and identifying friction in daily workflows.
- 10 to 20 adaptive questions per person, based on their answers
- Voice or text input, as natural as talking to a colleague
- Questions adapt to seniority: ICs get workflow deep-dives, leaders get strategic and budget-focused questions
- Auto-tags pain points, tools, cost signals, and decision-making patterns
- 02
Phase 2
Cross-reference and pattern recognition
Our engine synthesizes every interview into a unified map of your organization. We cross-reference individual contributor pain points with leadership observations so nothing is just one person's opinion.
- Correlates ground-level bottlenecks with leadership context and budget awareness
- Identifies which departments share the same friction points
- Maps your complete tech stack and finds overlapping or underused tools
- Ranks bottlenecks by estimated hours lost per week
- 03
Phase 3
Visual dashboard and reports
Your admin dashboard lights up with charts, rankings, and an org-wide snapshot. Generate a comprehensive org-wide report, then drill into department-level deep dives for team-specific actionables.
- Interactive visual dashboard with tech adoption, bottleneck rankings, and department breakdowns
- Org-wide report with three-tier recommendations (quick wins, emerging tools, custom builds)
- Department-level deep dives a team lead can act on directly
- All claims grounded in what your team actually said, with no invented numbers
- 04
Phase 4
Explore with the AI chat agent
Don't just read a static report. Ask follow-up questions. The AI chat agent on your dashboard has access to all your assessment data and can answer questions, compare departments, and surface insights on demand.
- "What are the biggest bottlenecks in Sales?"
- "Which tools overlap between departments?"
- "Show me the common themes from leadership interviews"
- Instant answers grounded in your actual assessment data
Why this is not a survey
What makes this different.
- 01
Role-aware interviewing
Not every employee should be asked the same questions. Our AI detects seniority from role titles and adapts: individual contributors get workflow analysis, managers get team-level observations, and directors/VPs/C-suite get questions about budgets, strategic initiatives, and decision-making processes.
- 02
Department-level deep dives
Beyond the org-wide report, generate targeted reports for any department. These deep dives analyze a single team's workflows, tools, pain points, and optimization opportunities: the kind of analysis a department head can take straight to execution.
- 03
Evidence-first analysis
Every claim in your report is grounded in what your employees actually said. We never invent statistics or extrapolate from thin data. When sample sizes are small, we say so. When leadership and ICs disagree, we surface both perspectives.
- 04
Voice first, zero friction
Employees can talk naturally instead of typing. Our AI transcribes and processes speech in real time. Fifteen minutes of talking produces richer, more candid data than any survey ever could.
